In some regards, the Washington Nationals were in an interesting position. They’re good enough to be considered competitive for a playoff spot — and perhaps even the division — but they aren’t so good that they’re a lock to make it to either of those places. While they don’t have the prospect depth that other organizations have, they still have players they want to see find themselves on the field so they can help the team. Enter: Carter Kieboom.
Everybody wants to see Kieboom succeed; everybody wants to see him reach his potential. He’s only 23, so there’s definitely no reason to write him off yet, but I think we thought this year was going to be different.
